Apologies if this has already been answered. I read many skid plate threads, but didnt' see this question.

For a 2021 FX2 (XLT), is a new bumper needed for installing the front bash/skid plate, kb3z-5d032-b?
Assume 4x4 tow hooks already in place.

As I understand it, there are two skid plate versions:
1) kb3z-5d032-B, with the bash plate
2) KB3Z-5D032-A, without the bash plate

Version (2) would clearly fit a stock FX2 XLT. Does (1) also fit?
If not, what bumper (or free mod :D ) is needed?

If I remember right one fits over the other. Same bumper you have now. If you have an air dam it gets removed

Thanks :)

Reading about it more, it seems kb3z-5d032-B is just the bottom plate -- not including the front plate.

Does anyone know if the front-facing silver bash/styling plate is cosmetic, or a metal component? What's it even called? :)

If you're talking about the piece above the tow hooks with two parking sensors in it, that's painted plastic and the color depends on the trim level.
